iPhone Insurance: Fun Ringtones. Musical Ring Tones
Saturday, July 4, 2009
Can you think of life without your mobile? I certainly can’t. A mobile is as vital to the majority of us as our hands. Plus just as we adorn our bodies, so we adorn our cell phone with ringtones. And ringtones are tremendous fun, too. To be sure, it is of no concern how much those people look down at those of us who like those quirky ringtones, there’s nothing like an amusing ringtone to loosen up a tedious work meeting, for instance. This text is for the intention to look at the phenomenon of ringtones, which are entertainment for the majority of us, but serious enterprise for some.
Winds of change
The days of the same monotonous ringtones on whatever mobile handset you bought are a mere memory. These days, the cell ringtone industry is a mega-million dollar empire that generates unique content all the time, and fiercely markets ringtones at you through every individual channel, most of all the Internet.
Must haves
All that you need to give yourself some cool and funky ringtones is a computer with an Internet connection. There are more websites offering free ringtone downloads than you can count, particularly the mobile phone sites. The only thing that you have to do is to load some file conversion software to allow you to change the format so you can upload to the phone.
Options unlimited
Once your basics are in place, the ringtone options at your disposal are literally unlimited, so you are likely to end up with a problem of plenty. At the end of the day, if you can get all ten of your best songs as ringtones, who wouldn’t want that? And more so because you can’t really use the same ringtone for too long, so you will need to keep changing tones, which means you’d better have a good stock of ringtones ready to go.

Iphone ringtone studio for the MAC
Friday, July 3, 2009
Got an Iphone and want some new kick ass tunes, well it may have been some time since apple added the ability to create custom Iphone ringtones in Itunes, and yes whilst this is a major step forward it does have 2 limitations. First you can only create ringtones from content you have bought, which is suppose is kind of fair, second you need to pay 99 cents for each customer ringtone you make, Doesn’t sound a lot but it will soon add up read on and we can show you how to make the same ringtone quickly and easily.
Enter PocketMac’s RingtoneStudio this nifty little piece of software allows you to make your own ringtone from almost any audio or video file on your Mac’s hard drive and even better its so easy to use.The only limitation is that the files must not be DRM protected (the downside to Itunes). To create your own customer ringtone is easy simply drag and drop a song, sound or video (even quicktime compatible video) file onto the ringtone studio window, testing this functionality we managed to convert a wide array of files quickly and easily. The only limitation we found was the DRM-protected files
Once you have loaded up your tune, video or sound then PocketMac Ringtone Studio for iPhone allows you to crop the source into a much smaller file which can easily be transfered to your Iphone. The PocketMac's cropping tool allows you to grab just the right section of audio for your personal ringtone. Depending on the length of your ringtone you will get different options if the sample is less than 30 seconds long then Ringtone studio will automatically converts the whole file into and iphone ringtone and places it neatly in your Itunes ringtone collection. If the sample is longer than 30 seconds then you get the option to clip out which ever 30 second section you wnat, again once selected the ringtones will be placed in Itunes, hopefully in a later version you will be able to clip longer and shorter lengths but as limitations go it wont casuse you too many issues.
If most of the music on your Hard drive has been purchased from the Itunes store then you may not find this tool too useful, as DRM-protected songs can only be converted by Itunes (at 99c a go) . But if you have plenty of good non protected music or videos then you can easily soon create a rather impressive range of ringtones for your iphone
